Establishing an ambition and applying oneself to study is like planting a tree. When it is only a root or sprout, it has no trunk; when it has a trunk, it has no branches; after branches come leaves, and after leaves come flowers. (Wang Shouren) The eternity of science lies in its persistent seeking. In terms of capacity, science is inexhaustible; in terms of goals, it is forever beyond reach. (Karl von Baeyer) The sharp blade of a sword is honed through grinding, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold. Begin a task with composure, but once you start, persist to the end. (Bia) If you expect a brilliant and great life, then from today, with unwavering determination and unshakable faith, use your wisdom and perseverance to create happiness for yourself and for humanity. (Anonymous) Mount Tai does not reject soil, so it can become great; rivers and seas do not discriminate against small streams, so they can become deep. (Li Si) Success is a journey, not a destination, so as long as everything goes well in the process of moving toward success, it is success. You must believe that where there is a will, there is a way. The ancients warned: “The Kingdom of Heaven is entered through effort.” Only when you are forced to take it step by step with difficulty, must you continue to walk step by step with difficulty, and must you strive to reach it with difficulty. (Gogol) To succeed in this world, one must persist to the end: one must not let go until death! (Voltaire) Read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will become apparent. Whoever has the will to endure thousands of hardships can achieve any goal. (Menander) Endurance and perseverance are painful things, but they gradually bring you benefits. (Ovid) A will that does not make decisions is not a real will; a person without character never makes decisions. One coin a day, ten coins in ten days. A rope saws through wood, and water drops pierce stone. (Ban Gu) You should cultivate confidence in yourself and in your own strength. This confidence is gained by overcoming obstacles, cultivating willpower, and exercising willpower. (Gorky) The artistic conception changes like a deity, and the brush tip has power to roam freely. (Song Dynasty, Dai Fuguo) Let me tell you the secret of my achieving goals: my only strength is my spirit of persistence. (Pasteur) Whether it is the song of a beauty, or the howl of a hyena, whether it is the tears of a crocodile, or the cry of a wolf, none of it will move me. (Chapman) It takes only a minute to express surprise; it takes many years to accomplish astonishing deeds. A person with determination will find their way. (Anonymous) Persisting without ceasing, even gold and stone can be carved.
